Press releaseIssued by Seko Logistics UK.

Seko Logistics, the leader in end-to-end global logistics, today announced a strategic partnership with StratDef Logistics, an independent European defence logistics provider, to further strengthen Seko's Government, Space & Defence capabilities across EMEA and support regional customers operating in highly regulated, security-sensitive environments.

The partnership represents a proactive step in Seko's long-term Government, Space & Defence strategy, enabling the company to support programmes requiring localised European security clearances and in-market operational control while remaining fully integrated with Seko's global network.

"Customers need assured execution in environments where requirements are exacting and compliance is paramount," said Brian Bourke, Global Chief Commercial Officer at Seko. "This partnership reflects continued investment across Government, Space & Defence, ensuring customers have strong local support backed by Seko's global platform."

StratDef is led by Managing Director Jeremy 't Hart, who brings over 24 years of logistics experience, including long-standing leadership within Seko Government, Space & Defence. StratDef operates independently while working in close coordination with Seko to support specific regulated requirements where localised clearance capability is required.

"My history with Seko means we share the same operating standards," said 't Hart. "This partnership enables StratDef to support specific clearance-dependent needs in Europe while coordinating closely with Seko, keeping security and dependable service at the centre for every customer."

The partnership reflects Seko's long-standing approach of working with specialised partners and entrepreneurial leaders to expand capabilities to best serve customers, while staying focused on execution and long-term stability.

Government, space and defence logistics remains a priority for Seko, with continued investment and active hiring underway across the U.S. and EMEA.
